My name is Isaac and I’m an assistant professor with a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology. Why am I writing about fantasy football and data analysis? Because fantasy football involves the intersection of two things I love: sports and statistics. With this site, I hope to demonstrate the relevance of statistics for choosing the best team in fantasy football.

Hey Isaac. I am completely novice to R and programming. I have wanted to create my own fantasy football software so that I can play with different aspects of game play. I have a couple of computer science buddies to build the software but I am wondering about where to pull the data from. This post shows how to pull the data for projections. What I will need is real time data during games to pull data from what is happening. Do you have any idea where CBS, ESPN, etc. get their data? So Julio catches a pass and everyone’s league stats are automatically updated. Are they all pulling from a common source? Thanks so much.
